The Federal
Government in Abuja on Monday granted Dana
Airline permission to resume flight operations
immediately.
This is contained in a statement issued by Mr Joe
Obi, the Media Adviser to the Minister of Aviation.
Officials of the Federal Ministry of Aviation and
the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority met with the
Management team from Dana Airlines today in
Abuja and deliberated on some safety issues in
connection with the operations of the airline.
"At the end of the meeting, the suspension of the
operations of the airline which took effect last
Saturday was lifted.
The airline is to resume normal operations
immediately,’’ the statement stated.
According to the statement, one of Dana’s aircraft
has a snag which led to the temporary suspension for
safety reasons.
"The particular aircraft which had a snag over the
weekend is to remain grounded until after its air-
worthiness has been re-certified by Boeing, the
manufacturer of the aircraft.
It will be recall that one of Dana’s aircraft crashed in June 2012 and its operational license was revoked by the government.
The airline was still battling with the resumption of
full operation across Nigeria when it asked to stop
operation again over safety issues.

The government to me seems very confused. Since we have a clueless leader, we should expect this kind of things.
